Black Hills Energy says customers can anticipate lower natural gas costs this winter

WICHITA, Kan. (KWCH) - Black Hills Energy, which serves over 118,000 customers in West Wichita and around Kansas, reports natural gas cost has dropped from above $9 in September 2022, to $2.55 this year.

New York Mercantile Exchange projects the regional price of gas for this winter to be between $3-$6. Natural gas prices are a pass-through cost without any markup from Black Hills Energy.

Since last year, production has been up a record-high 2.5% and national storage for natural gas has risen 16%, which is 7% above the five-year average.

The Black Hills Energy website provides conservation tips and safety reminders to help customers manage their energy use before cold winter temperatures arrive.
